How to play Word Search
Word Search gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Look at what changes after your first action.
Each board contains eight target words from the included English word list.
Read before acting
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Find every listed word in a 10×10 grid. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
Step by step
- Select the first and last letter of a straight word.
- Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in either direction.
- Find all eight targets.
- New puzzle shuffles again.
Controls
Tap or click endpoints. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
Selecting the endpoints in reverse order also finds the same word. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Words cannot turn corners. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
